B&B Exclusive — Hotel in Venice

The place was nice, felt like you were living in a regular Italian house, and the attendant Nenand was very kind & helpful. I found the place easily with GPS tracking on my state-side smartphone (even though I only had it on airplane mode, it still showed the blue dot in the Google maps app) but just using a paper map would be difficult because not all the streets are labeled. It was about a 8 minute walk from the Piazza Roma bus station...if you know where you're going. About 3 bridges to cross along the way, which is only inconvenient if you're carrying multiple or heavy suitcases (because the bridges are all steps). Regardless, we made it to the hotel no problem and huffed our suitcases up the stairs to the 3rd floor because there were no elevators (not common in Italian homes I learned). It had the feel of a regular single family apartment, with one big dining room in the center and the other rooms off of it -- one master bedroom (for a family, sleeps 4 people) and 4 smaller bedrooms (which generally sleep about 2 or so). Near the entrance there were two separate bathrooms: both with shower, toilet, sink, and mirror but one was a stand-up shower and the other was just a tub with a shower hose, no shower curtain (so you'd have to take a bath or sit to shower in the one bathroom). We found it mildly inconvenient, only from having to wait for the other guests to finish in the bathroom with the real shower; having 4 regular rooms plus us 4 in the family room, this apartment (B&B Exclusive) can accommodate more than 12 people at a time so you need to plan your bathroom time accordingly. The main thing I didn't like was the sound from between the rooms -- you could hear just about any chatter from the adjacent room, even if it were subdued. Every morning he birds were chirping early, the sun was shining, and it was altogether an enjoyable place to rest. Breakfast included sweet biscuits, white/wheat bread, jams, butter, tea, and coffee. If you wanted a more thorough breakfast you could pay €5 per person per day but we just decided to go out locally so I can't speak for the quality of the legitimate breakfast there. In short, it was a great experience, cool local vibe, and one of the more affordable...

I booked a one-room stay for 6 nights at this property after watching a video where this location was recommended by some American travel YouTubers. It's located an easy 10-minute walk from the main train station (with one large and one small bridge on the way).

This is not a hotel but a private apartment on the second floor of an old Venetian building. The location is simply fantastic - during the week, it was very quiet even with the window open. Over the weekend when the yelling started, I suppose the noise was inevitable. I do have to say that the whole Venice must have heard the screeching.

When I arrived at the apartment, the owners welcomed me and immediately recommended so many amazing places, as well as ways to experience Venice like a local. I did not expect it but it was very much appreciated. There is a coffee machine in the shared living room and you get coffee tabs every day (left in your room after housekeeping). There is also a microwave and a kettle, plus cutlery and dishes so you can enjoy your food. My room had a mini fridge so I could also keep food there if I wanted to!

The flat is old but it's really beautiful. Due to how the buildings are made, the room was always cooler than the outside and, as my room was not in the direct path of the sun, it always maintained a pleasant temperature. There is a cooling unit in the room so I could always switch it on if I wanted to.

The apartment has two shared bathrooms, each with a toilet and shower - I had no issues sharing with the rest of the people at the accommodation, even though I showered twice every day because it was sweltering hot outside.

The day I was leaving the owner assured me I could leave my bags and go around to wander before leaving Venice which was very sweet - but I did not make use of the offer as I was leaving early.

The apartment was clean, the bed was really comfortable and I couldn't have wished for more for my first...

DO NOT BOOK ||Worst B&B experience ever ||1. We arrived after 7pm so we had to pay a "so-called" additional fee for late check-in of 20€!!!! We had already paid the room 86€. The additional fees were supposedly mentionned on booking but of course the enormous amount was only revealed after booking. We arrived at 10pm which is not even late night.... ||This is robbery. ||When we said we had no intention of paying this abusive late chek-in fee, he became very agressive and started yelling... ||||2. The room: The bed was not a real bed but rather a convertible. There was no tv and not even a small table or small light to read. ||||3. The bathroom: Light over the sink broken, shower holder broken, overall bathroom very dirty ||And of course there are only two bathrooms to share for the whole appartment which means that you can't even go to the toilets if someone else is taking a shower. ||||4.the breakfast: Since it's a B&B (which means Bed AND Breakfast) and it is written on booking that breakfast is included we expected beakfast.... ||There was NONE. ||||We had just paid more than a 100€ for a loosy room and there wasn't even breakfast!!! ||All in all I highly recommend you NOT to book This B&B, it's our worst booking experience ever and we have already travelled all over Europe in Asia and the US, in B&B, hostels and hotels. ||||Also after I posted my review on our stay on booking, the owner kept sending us emails insulting us harassing us. ||According to him we should have cancelled the reservation. Of course we booked via booking and it was not possible to cancel without losing all the money... ||He called us brats and spoiled children and even insulted us... He became very agressive and we were afraid he would try to find us and...
